We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts. And I make far too many mistakes.

— Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

Programming is a pursuit in which an unintelligent machine demonstrates conclusively to intelligent people just what fools they are. Do you think that you are a clever person? Take up programming, and the computer will quickly disabuse you of this notion. The number of mistakes a human being can make in pursuit of solving some very, very simple problems is remarkable, humblingly so.
